config.xml changes during reboot — user & other data changed

[rcstevensonaz]

[Edit Update by Original Poster]
This thread has been pretty thoroughly highjacked somewhere around page 2, so let me provide a quick synopsis of the answer to the question I originally posted.

In my posting, I noted that the primary config.xml was being corrupted and isolated that corruption to the point when I rebooted after adding users (ACCESS | USERS). The maintainers of NAS4Free agreed that there was a significant error in the 228 and earlier releases. The issue has been fixed and they recommend that people do not use an installation earlier the 247/249.
[End Edit Update]

During process of setting up machine, I notice that some data is changed during reboot.

Sequence of events:

1. I made a fresh install of 228 from CD; rebooted; setup IP addressing and rebooted again.

2. Using WebGUI, I set some basic information (setup general, advanced, password; enabled ssh & nsf; added 2 users). At this point, I was able to log in via SSH to my user account.

3. Rebooted.

4. No longer able to ssh into my user account. The shell was changed from "sh" to "scponly" and the primary group was changed from original setting (e.g. staff) to <primarygroup/>. Also the default password for the main account was reset back to default 'nas4free'.

I was in trying to trace down this issue of user information changing, so I had made a copy /conf/config.xml just before and then right after the reboot in step #3. This is how I know the user information was changed; but there were a lot of additional changes to the config file as well.

Any idea what is happening? And, given that user account data (which I can easily detect) was changed, I am now very nervous about what else has changed during this process.

I've tried attaching the "before" and "after" config.xml files, but extensions .xml, .bak and .txt are all disallowed...

[raulfg3]

If the password was reset to default, perhaps, you select erroneously option to restore Nas4Free to default, or perhaps some type of corruption happend in the config file, not sure.

Can you show the exact changes done in config file?

If you restore old config file and reboot, what happend?
1 - old config file is load sucessfully and password is backward to your password
2 - old config file is ignored and still nas4free is default password

[rcstevensonaz]

So I ran through another complete installation (from scratch). After making changes on each screen, I made a copy of the config.xml, rebooted and then made another copy of the config.xml.

- Setup | General: as expected before & after reboot
- Setup | Password: as expected before & after reboot
- Setup | Advanced: as expected before & after reboot
- Setup | Users: this is where it got interesting!

After adding the users but BEFORE the reboot, the changes to the config.xml looked exactly like I would have expected. In prior cases, I would have been able to SSH into the system under the users created.

But AFTER the reboot, the config.xml file was pretty message up. I've copied the DIFF of the .xml before and after reboot so you can see the changes that were made during the reboot immediately following adding the users. Note, there we no other configuration changes from the last last reboot other than adding two new users; so it seems this issue is isolated to whatever happens when new users are first added to the config file (maybe everytime new user is added; but at least the first time).

When I went back in and corrected the settings for the two users (default shell, primary group) and the system password, the config was updated for those fields only and remained the same after subsequent reboots. All other changes in the config file shown in the diff below have remained in effect -- for good or for ill. For example, my NTP server list is still changed back to the original and not what I had set.

Finally, I am not sure if this is relevant, but I am seeing warning boxes during the reboot phase saying "This configuration file was created using a newer version of NAS4Free... upgrade to latest version of NAS4Free....". Again, I started with a fresh install of .228 at the beginning of the test cycle.

Diff before and after reboot (after having added two users):

One additional detail: the config.xml NAS4Free version was 1.2 all the way through until after I added users and then rebooted. During that reboot cycle, the version got flipped to version 9.6. Not sure if this is relevant or not.

[daoyama]

This is a bug of ALL of NAS4Free 9.0.X.X. It has been fixed in 9.1.0.1.236
Currently, the only method of using safely is fresh installation of 9.1.0.1.236 or
upgrading from FreNAS 0.7.5/0.7.2 without using 9.0.X.X and without restoring old config.

Please DO NOT USE 9.0.X.X anyway.
However, we have another big problem on ALL of NAS4Free code includes 9.1.
It is under investigation now.

If you already used NAS4Free 9.0.0.1, please do not upgrade to any version now.
Please keep it until a bug is fixed.

Thanks,
Daisuke Aoyama

[rcstevensonaz]

Thanks -- I had reached the same conclusion that there was a significant installation issue on the .228 since that problem disappeared when I did a fresh install using .236.

Also, thanks for head's up to hold off on using .236 as well. Please let me know when it is safe to re-enter the waters of NAS4Free (Open Indiana appears to be all but dead; so NAS4Free looks like it is the only game in town these days :-)

[zoon01]

NAS4free Builds removed from SF till the source code is exactly what we wants to release new builds.

9.0.0.1 will be dropped we go straight forward to freebsd 9.1 as it has better support for various hardware out there.

zoon01

Builds removed from SF

Remove all - this is not way! You need wrote about troubles for first time

[ChriZathens]

Sorry to hear about the troubles...
I have version .175
Never found time to upgrade to 188 or .228
Is this version OK? Will I be able to upgrade to 9.1.0.1.xxx???

[daoyama]

OK, I found a reason.

NAS4Free 9.0.0.1 failed to convert the config to FreeNAS's 9.6 until you touch
"Access > Users and Groups".
If your config keep 1.2, it's lucky. You can continue to use it.
If 9.6, you must reset to Factory Default. It's impossible to recover from 9.6.

Note: fresh installed 9.1.X.X is not affected in any case.

It recommends upgrading to 9.1.0.1.247 or later, as soon as possible.
If your system is not able to boot, please boot from CD drive with 9.1.0.1.247,
then chose "Upgrade from CD, then reset to Factory Default.

NAS4Free 9.0.0.1 below 247 is not supported any more.

Thanks,

I have upgraded from freenas 0.7.2.8191 to n4f 9.0.0.1.148 without changing anything in users...
I then upgraded to .175 without changing anything in users
Will I survive?

Ok I have a 9.0.0.1-188 x64 embedded, my config shows version 1.0 and i will try to upgrade to 247 as soon as download is finished.
I have no problem if the os gets broken, because it is a test machine anyway.
Will report back after upgrade, thx for the good work

[lasdem]

Well I am back to report.
NAS is not available over the network anymore.
It worked, nas4free is booted and web interface is responding.
I will check if all settings are ok.

As for me it not work
I make full installation

And receive

After unsuccess install I boot from my driver with old system 9.0.0.1 - Sandstorm (revision 188) - all work

My hard disk is WDC WD84AA 29.05T29 , motherboard is x86-full on AMD Sempron(tm) 2200+

[lasdem]

I will check if all settings are ok.

Settings are all the same, it seems that everything is in order =)

Please post or mail to me following info. (replace ada0 with your drive)

# diskinfo -v ada0
# sysctl kern.geom

Note: kern.geom is very long info but its useful for devbug and develop.

Good thing I haven't yet thrown my small disk out of the window, alexey... lol It seems there might be something different faulty and not the disk..
As for me I checked a few minutes ago, and thanks God, my config reports version 1.0... I will stick for a while in 9.0.0.1.175 I guess... not an issue - it's rock solid and very fast...

[alexey123]

I double
After 2 reboot it stop to see USB flash during installation.
Reboot - Boot from usb-flash, but not mount USB during instalation.
Power off, Many russian words about life, coffie, and SUCCESS INSTALL!
Web interface worked faster. More faster. Network speed is OK ( in my case ) for smb,(70 Mbit/sec) ftp . I'll test Owncloud as web and php application.

I check it tommorow. And replace it on another disk.
My disk was born in 1997, 14.5 years old. But was work without any problem.

I attach output about my disk

[ChriZathens]

As alexey mentioned earlier, I also encountered error "could not initialize destination disk" in another topic.. --> viewtopic.php?f=59&t=1022
So I am attaching my info, too. I hope it helps you...



EDIT: Just tried to install version .250 and after creating slice partition I get a lot of errors :

And after that

There was a problem during initializing the destination disk.

The disk is checked with many hdd tools as also mentioned in topic viewtopic.php?f=59&t=1022 and all reported no errors

It looks controller problem, not a disk.
Can GPT format of the disk be performed from WebGUI of LiveCD?
What contoroller is connected to the disk?
Did you check on the contoroller?

Please post the result of:

# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot

Thanks,
Daisuke Aoyama

[ChriZathens]

It looks controller problem, not a disk.

I don't think it is the controller (I successfully installed on a 3.5" hdd), BUT I can't really be sure about the cabling, because this specific drive is a 2.5" hdd and is connected to the controller using a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter
But for the record, using version .249, those errors don't show anymore, just:

Code: Select all

    Error: Failed to write standard label

    Error: Failed to create BSD label on ada0s1!
    Unmount CDROM.
    There was a problem during initializing the destination disk.

Also, I don't know if this helps more, If I try to use option 1 of the Install & Upgrade Options Menu, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Mount CDROM.
Installing system image on device ada0

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
GEOM: ada0: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 15h,63s).
GEOM: ada0: media size does not match label.

There was a problem while copying files

Can GPT format of the disk be performed from WebGUI of LiveCD?

Using the live cd, I added the disk from Disks|Management and the went ahead and formatted the disk from the webui. The result is:

Thanks a lot for your efforts!!!

[daoyama]

Oh, I misunderstood. I have no 9.0 environment and development tree.
So, I can't support for 9.0 now. Please use 9.1 instead.

It looks the disk contains some partition or raid meta block.
I will add changing geom flags to installer of 9.1.
Please wait next *9.1* build.

Thanks,
Daisuke Aoyama

[ChriZathens]

Ok, daisuke, thanks...
I will wait.
Just for the record, the failure to create labels occurred also in a test of 9.1.0.1.250
But the test machine is at work, so I will be able to test and report again on Monday..

[alexey123]

Please post or mail to me following info. (replace ada0 with your drive)

# diskinfo -v ada0
# sysctl kern.geom

Note: kern.geom is very long info but its useful for devbug and develop.

Thanks,
Daisuke Aoyama

Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in /etc/inc/array.inc on line 80 Warning: Illegal string offset 'uuid' in /etc/inc/array.inc on line 56 Warning: Illegal string offset 'uuid' in /etc/inc/array.inc on line 59 Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in /etc/inc/array.inc on line 56 Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in /etc/inc/array.inc on line 59 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /etc/inc/array.inc:80) in /usr/local/www/system_hosts_edit.php on line 116 

The host does get created but I'm worried this may be something of an issue somewhere?

Thanks for all the good work.
